One of the most frequent complaints I hear from development directors is this:
Our board members don’t help with fundraising.
My question is always about the disconnect with regard to expectations. Are they clear on both sides?
Help Your Board Members to Raise More Money
In my work at Capital Campaign Pro, it’s imperative that board member’s help with fundraising during a capital campaign. That doesn’t mean they need to solicit gifts. But they do need to be involved.
And because there’s so much confusion around capital campaigns, both in general and specifically among board members, I wanted to provide some clarity.
That’s why my brilliant colleague, Sarah Plimpton, and I wrote a new resource for board members at organizations considering or planning capital campaigns.
A Board Member’s Guide to Capital Campaign Fundraising
Sarah and I bring our combined insight and expertise to help organizations raise game-changing money with confidence, structure, and shared understanding.
Help your board members to understand the essentials of capital campaign fundraising, including:
- How much you can raise
- How long a campaign will take
- Roles and responsibilities spelled out clearly
- How much they will be expected to give
- Whether you really need a feasibility study
- Why you should hire a consultant
- What’s so quiet about the quiet phase?
All of these topics (and so many more) are answered in this incredible new book.
Through clear explanations, real-world examples, and practical guidance, A Board Member’s Guide to Capital Campaign Fundraising answers the questions board members ask most often, dispels common misconceptions, and provides a roadmap for meaningful engagement in any major fundraising campaign.
